The A6 disappearances (French: disparues de l'A6, literally the "[female] disappeared of the A6") is the name given to a number of mysterious disappearances or other crimes involving women and girls, occurring in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s along a 200-kilometer (120-mile) stretch of the A6 motorway around Mâcon, Chalon-sur-Saône and Montceau-les-Mines, France. The area has been informally referred to as the "triangle of fear" (French: triangle de la peur). The crimes took place between 20 August 1984 and 2 April 2005. All known victims were females aged between 13 and 37 who disappeared suddenly in the département of Saône-et-Loire in east-central France, all along a 200 km stretch of the A6 between Mâcon, Chalon-sur-Saône and Montceau-les-Mines. Although the police have solved some of the murders, they are unsure of whether the remaining unsolved cases are coincidences or the work of one or more serial killers.[1]
